Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by frequent, severe respiratory infections, often caused by Pseudomonas, which is treated with tobramycin (TOBI) or azithromycin (Zithromax). Preventing respiratory infections is a crucial part of caring for the child with CF. Reproduction is often affected in people with CF, but without testing, it is impossible to say that the child is sterile. Vitamin replacement is needed along with pancreatic enzyme replacement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Salty-tasting sweat and tears are a characteristic finding in cystic fibrosis. The diagnostic test for this disorder is the quantitative sweat chloride test. Pancreatic enzyme studies are invasive and not usually performed on children. Pulmonary function studies are done in older children who can cooperate. Large bowel barium studies are not needed.
